Today is my birthday! I love birthdays, and my family and friends have done an excellent job of making it a special time for sure.

I read this book exactly one year ago- my mom got it for me for my birthday last year. I can’t even describe it. It is so good, and eye-opening, and honest, I just wanted to share it with one of you! I would really love to share it with all of you, but there’s that pesky affair called finances that gets in the way. If you don’t win the giveaway and have the funds, I highly encourage you to buy it if you get a chance. It is a book you’ll want to underline and highlight. Check at used book stores (although I look every.single.time. I go into Half-Price books for it and have never seen it!) or buy it on Amazon or Christian Book Distributors. Check with your library if you don’t have the means to get it right now. I think you get the idea I like this book!
love.

About Kelli Hays
My favorite birthday memory was when Josh saved up some extra money and surprised me with an overnight shopping trip. I had no idea what we were doing until we arrived at our destination.
I just have to say it again….. your exuberance is showing with your new blog – how wonderful. And happy birthday.
~Bliss~
Happy Birthday Kelli! I hope your day is as sweet and wonderful as you, many blessings for you this year!
Happy Birthday Kelli!
I can honestly say I can’t remember anything special about past birthdays. But I do remember when I turned 21, which of course was yesterday 😛 My entire family and my best friend took me to Olive Garden. It was the first time I had alcohol in front of my parents 🙂
That sounds like a perfect birthday! 🙂
Thank you so much Bliss! Now you should enter my giveaway. 🙂
Thanks Ange! I hope you get a chance to enter my giveaway! I am excited about it.
Thanks Jen. So what did your parents think about that? 😉
Happy Birthday to you!! I can remember several wonderful memories, but the one that came to mind was my 18th. I adored children and had every party was full of children and family. So I had a party for all the children, and my fav part was when they surrounded me and helped me blow out my candles. It’s such a sweet memory.
Happy Birthday! When I was working summer camp during college my parents sent me a birthday in box with everything I’d need to have a fun little party. It was a fun way to get to celebrate despite being far from my family.
Happy birthday! My favorite birthday memory was this year when a friend baked not just one, but 2 cakes to surprise me at a large group meeting on my birthday!
So glad I found you through Money Saving Mom! My favorite birthday memory is from my childhood, and I received a puppy from my parents (I had been yearning for one for soooo long! All of my 8 long years, LOL!)
My favorite BD memory is traveling to FL from WI in February and water-skiing. My uncle, who patiently drove the boat, thought I was crazy; however, the water was about the same temp as WI lakes in July. I was about 12.
This is Karen again. I am using the same email as on FB, but I choose to be friendless there and am using a psuedonym for the social media. Just to clarify any confusion…
My fave is two years ago when my husband and my 2 best friends put on a huge surprize for me!

My favorite birthday memory is when my best friends kidnapped and blindfolded me, took me to my best friends house where a brand new dress in my size was laying on her bed, and took me out for dinner and dessert!
My favorite Birthday was spending it on a cruise with my family! Awesome memories!
Hey Kelli,
It wouldn’t let me go anywhere when I clicked enter to win. It just sat there.
I just e-mailed you about it! 🙂
I do believe that would be an awesome birthday! 🙂
That does sound fun! You have creative friends. 🙂

haha that sounds like so much fun, and cold!
Shelly, I am glad you found me too! 🙂
And a puppy is a great birthday surprise! 🙂
oh that is so sweet of your friend! Thanks for reading!
Thank you Nicole!
Wow, what a sweet gal to have tons of kids at your 18th birthday! Sounds like you had fun!
Just this past year when my family and best friends celebrated my 50th birthday with dinner and breakfast the next morning.
Having homemade peach icecream every year.
When I turned 30, my husband and I ordered a cake for my birthday. The lady behind the counter asked what I wanted written on it, and I told her to put “Happy 29th”. We had a good laugh about it, and I order a cake the same way every year now. I will be 35 this year 😉
A last minute birthday party my sister had for me when I was a kid. She had ALL the neighborhood kids come over & it was so fun.
So many good birthdays! I’ll share the most recent (my 30th)….last year I celebrated as a new mom with my husband and 5 week old baby boy. That morning I walked downstairs to find an enormous box with a big purple bow on top. An electric piano that I had been wanting for years! Then my husband took me to one of my favorite restaurants, Fogo de Chao. I’m a big meat lover so that place makes me happy 🙂
Favorite Birthday memories are always my children’s! I’m actually celebrating my youngest sons “1st” birthday this Sunday.
